    Just read yet another message on my Prolific account page from the host of the £25 3-part study.  Says they have decided to extend the timeframe of the study with longer between parts.  The final section for the £10 bonus won't be until sometime in June!
    I saw that too. Oh well, at least it's still going ahead and we'll get paid at some point for it.

    Quick post before I go to bed. I'm up to date with my focus group, managed to get an article written and Swagbucks is still on target (redeemed a £5 voucher from there too).

    Thanks everyone.

    Nothing to add today, and I've only managed one article over the weekend. Weekends are just really quiet on there, so the bulk of my money needs to be made during the week.

    I'm up to date on my focus group, and the other one starts tomorrow too. I'm giving quite detailed answers, so it's taking me quite a while to do it, whereas others are giving short one line answers. I don't want them to turn around and say I didn't do enough for payment though, so I'd rather do more than not enough. Plus if you do well, there's the chance that they'll invite you to future focus groups.

    I'm giving up on Swagbucks. I met the target yesterday, but today is a joke. No surveys = no chance of reaching the target. I'll still go on there to get vouchers, but won't be able to get the full bonus at the start of next month.

    I paid some more off the Curry's debt yesterday. OH's parents sent me some birthday money, and I don't really need anything right now, so I've put it towards the debt. Now there's £321.25 left, and that should go down to under £300 tomorrow.

    Totally agree with that, Emz.  That's why they gave me the £50 bonus for the Fairtrade bananas one I did.  I didn't even know a bonus was in the offing but thought  it only fair to add appropriate comments instead of just N/A or leave parts blank which was an option they offered.  It was hard to keep coming up with something different to say as some of the questions they asked were pretty samey and there were a lot of them LOL
